Q1: How can I get c4 where c4 will always be the difference of values in c3 against max of c2 - min of c2

For example: Here c4 for A = 677-76

Please guide.

c    c2   c3
A   1   76
A   2   7
A   3   6
A   4   677
B   1   65
B   2   675
B   3   90
B   4   78
C   1   121
C   2   56
C   3   54
C   4   67

Try something like this:

index="yourindex" sourcetype="yoursourcetype" 
| stats max(c3) as max min(c3) as min by c 
| eval c4=max-min

Is this what you were looking for?

index="yourindex" sourcetype="yoursourcetype" 
| eventstats min(c3) as min max(c3) as max by c 
| eval c4=max-min 
| table c c2 c3 c4 
| sort c c2
